Germany – we expect an expedited delivery of IRIS-T air defense systems and ammunition for them," said Zelenskyy.
He emphasized the crucial importance of Germany recognizing its role as one of the largest security pillars in Europe and the modern free world. Ukraine, for its part, highly values this. The president also spoke about the work between Ukraine and the European Union, as well as support from other European countries.
"The European Union – we are working at the level of EU institutions to cover existing supply shortages. The Netherlands – there is readiness to continue investing in weapons production in Ukraine. The Nordic and Baltic states – there is full support, and this means new packages, new investments in weapons production, new political initiatives that will strengthen us all – both Ukraine and Europe. I would like to thank all partners," Zelenskyy concluded.
